1 Lab 7. Probability and Genetics The phenotype of an organism (the way it looks or behaves, or its physiology) is in large part determined by the genes it carries (its genotype). Most organisms are diploid, so that most carry two copies of each chromosome (a homologous pair). One chromosome of a homologous pair came from the mother, and one came from the father. In humans, there are 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes. We each got chromosome numbers 1 through 23 from our mom, and 1 through 23 from our dad. The 1s are a homologous pair, the 2s are a homologous pair, the 23s are a homologous pair etc. Each member of a homologous pair carries the same genes. For example, suppose the gene for eye color was on chromosome number 12, the gene for tonguerolling was on chromosome number 8, and the gene for earlobe attachment was on chromosome number 20 (these are just made-up for the purpose of example, these genes may not actually be on these chromosomes). We would each have received a copy of these genes from each of our parents, on the appropriate chromosome. However, we may not have received exactly the same form of the gene, or allele, from each parent. Perhaps mom gave us the allele for blue eyes when she gave us our gene for eye color, and perhaps dad gave us the allele for brown eyes when he gave us our gene for eye color. Thus, because we are diploid, we each carry two copies of every gene (except those on the sex chromosomes, but we ll get to that later). The two copies may be exactly the same (i.e. the same alleles), or they may be different, as in the example above for eye color. When the two alleles are the same (say, both for blue eyes), the genotype is said to be homozygous. When the two alleles are different (one for blue eyes and one for brown), the genotype is said to be heterozygous. When the genotype is heterozygous, often only one allele of the two is expressed in the phenotype. This allele is said to be dominant, while the other is recessive. In the case of eye color, the brown allele is dominant and the blue allele is recessive. Thus, an individual heterozygous for eye color (as in our example above) would show a brown-eyed phenotype. In the case of recessive and dominant alleles, the only time the phenotype associated with the recessive allele is expressed is when the individual has two copies of the recessive allele (homozygous recessive). Dominant alleles are usually symbolized by an uppercase letter (lets say, E for brown eyes), and the recessive allele is usually symbolized by the lower case letter (e). For this example, there are three possible genotypes: EE, Ee, and ee. However, because of dominance, there are only two possible phenotypes: Brown eyes (genotypes EE and Ee), and Blue eyes (genotype ee). For most traits, there exist at least two alleles. The paired alleles are separated (along with the chromosomes that they reside on) during meiosis I. Half of the gametes formed will receive a copy of one allele, while the other half will receive the other. If the genotypes of the parents are known, all possible combinations of alleles (the offspring genotypes) can be determined. However, it is important to realize that which sperm will join with a particular egg is purely a matter of chance. Because of this chance component, the rules of probability play heavily in genetics and inheritance. The following exercise should help to illustrate probability in inheritance. 1
2 Probability Exercise 1. Work with a partner. Designate one of you as male, and one as female. Each take a penny to represent a trait passed on through your gametes. If we designate heads as a dominant allele H and tails as a recessive allele h, you are both heterozygous for this trait. 2. Each of you should flip the coin independently. The combination of heads and tails (or H and h) will represent the union of a sperm and an egg. Do forty combinations and keep track of the genotypes (use tick marks) of the offspring you and your partner produce in the table below. We will then total the data for the class, and you can include that in the table on the last line. Table 1. Hypothetical Offspring Genotypes Sperm:Egg Sperm:Egg Sperm:Egg Sperm:Egg Offspring Genotype H : H H : h h : H h : h Number Class Total What was the probability of getting either an H or an h on any single coin-flip? What was the percentage of each of the four genotype categories above? Do you see a relationship between the two percentages above? The relationship is called the Product Rule of Probability. The probability of two independent events is the product of their separate probabilities. If we combine the two categories that are heterozygous, we get a common genotypic ratio: ( 1 : 2 : 1 ) That is, one-quarter homozygous dominant (HH), one-half heterozygous (either Hh or hh), and one-quarter homozygous recessive (hh). What would be the ratio of phenotypes? A useful tool for predicting all the possible combinations and the expected ratios of offspring genotypes (when the genotypes of the parents are known) is the Punnett Square. We can use the Punnett Square to arrive at the same ratios that you determined empirically, without actually doing the coin-flipping (or the mating in a real biological system). Punnett Square 2
3 To construct a Punnett Square, one makes a 2 by 2 table as below. The female gametes are listed across the top of the square, and the male gametes are listed along the left side as shown below. Female Gametes H h Male H HH Hh Gametes h hh hh What is the ratio between homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive genotypes? Once we have this Punnett Square, we can assign phenotypes to the genotypes, and calculate the phenotypic ratio as well. For example: Female Gametes H h Male H HH (dominant) Hh (dominant) Gametes h hh (dominant) hh (recessive) What is the ratio between dominant and recessive phenotypes in the offspring? Punnett Squares can also be used in reverse, to infer the genotypes of parents when the genotypes of offspring are known. However, because of the chance component, it is not always possible to completely determine the genotypes of the parents. If the allele for brown eyes (E) is dominant to the allele for blue eyes (e), and two parents each had brown eyes, what might their genotypes be? Mother Father If they had only brown-eyed offspring, what might their genotypes be? Mother Father If, however, they had one blue-eyed offspring, what MUST their genotypes be? Mother Father If the mother had blue eyes, and the father had brown eyes, and they had a blue-eyed offspring, what MUST their genotypes be? Mother Father If the mother had blue eyes, and the father had brown eyes, and they had only two children, both with brown eyes, what might their genotypes be? Mother Father Mendelian Inheritance in Humans 3
4 Several human phenotypic traits seem to be inherited in a simple dominant:recessive (Mendelian) manner. For this part of the lab you will again need a partner, to help you identify your phenotype for some of the traits. Once your phenotype is known, you can assess you possible genotypes for that trait. Record your data and that of your lab partner on the table at the end of the descriptions below. Eye Color Blue/gray eye color indicates that an individual is homozygous recessive (ee) for that trait. If you have any other eye color it is dominant to blue/gray, but we can t know the genotype for sure so you must record both possible dominant genotypes (EE or Ee) Widow s Peak Widow s Peak, a distinct downward point of the frontal hairline (a V-shaped hairline) indicates that a dominant allele (W) is present. Homozygous individuals (ww) possess a straight hairline. PTC Tasting The ability to taste the chemical PTC is due to a dominant allele (T). Obtain a strip of paper that has been treated with PTC and a control paper. Place the control paper (use the end that has not been handled) on your tongue. This allows you to recognize the taste of plain paper so you don t confuse it with the test substance. Throw the control paper into the waste basket, and then place the PTC paper on your tongue. If you have a dominant allele, you will probably experience a strong, bitter taste (you may need to go get a drink of water). The paper will taste like the control to homozygous recessive individuals (tt). Throw the test paper away when finished. Tongue Rolling The ability to roll the tongue up into a tube is a dominant trait and indicates that the individual carries at least one copy of the dominant allele (R). Individuals without this ability are homozygous recessive (rr). Earlobe Attachment Free-hanging or unattached earlobes is dominant (F) to earlobes that are attached directly to the head at the base (ff). Bent Little Finger 4
5 If the tip of the little finger angles toward the other digits, the individual shows the dominant phenotype, and carries at least one dominant allele (B). Homozygous recessive individuals have straight little fingers. Hitchhiker s Thumb If the tip of the thumb can be bent backward so that it is at or near a right angle to the rest of the thumb, the individual is homozygous recessive (hh). Considerable variation exists in the expression of this gene. For classroom purposes, those individuals who can t bend at least one thumb backward about 45 degrees are probably carrying a dominant allele (H). Middigital Hair The presence of hair on the middle segment of the digits is a dominant condition, and persons with this phenotype carry at least one dominant allele (M). Even the slightest amount of fine hair qualifies as a dominant phenotype. Table 2.

In the space below, construct Punnett Squares to show the potential genotypes and phenotypes of offspring that the two of you might produce. Because you can t be sure whether a person who is phenotypically dominant is homozygous or heterozygous, you will have to construct a separate Punnett Square for each possibility (for example; AA x aa and Aa x aa). 5
6 Which of the two crosses would potentially yield offspring of both dominant and recessive phenotypes? For the cross that does result in both phenotypes, what is the ratio among the offspring between the dominant and recessive phenotypes? Now, choose a trait for which you both show the dominant phenotype. Again do two Punnett Squares in the space below, one assuming you are both heterozygous (Aa x Aa), and the other assuming one of you is homozygous dominant (AA x Aa). What is the ratio of dominant to recessive offspring phenotypes in the cross between heterozygotes? What is the ratio of dominant to recessive offspring phenotypes when one parent is homozygous dominant? Sex-Linked Traits In humans, the 23 rd pair of chromosomes are the sex chromosomes, X and Y. Females are homozygous X (XX), while males are heterozygous (XY). The terms usually used are homogametic for females (because they can only give Xs to their gametes) and heterogametic for males (because they can give gametes with either Xs or Ys). In addition to determining the sex of the individual, some genes for other traits are carried on the sex chromosomes, primarily on the X chromosome. Because males only have one copy of the X chromosome, if they inherit a recessive allele for one of these traits from their mother, they will show the recessive phenotype. For this reason, sexlinked recessive phenotypes occur more often in males than in females. For example, let s pretend that the gene for baldness (hair loss in adulthood) resides on the X chromosome (it really doesn t, but this example works out OK). The allele that causes baldness is recessive (b). Because females carry two copies of the X chromosome, it is less likely that they will have two recessive alleles, and therefore less likely that their hair will thin upon adulthood (although sometimes this certainly does occur). However, because males only carry one copy of the X chromosome, if they inherit a recessive allele (b) from their mother, then they will express that phenotype (their hair will thin upon adulthood). This condition is also influenced by testosterone levels (a male sex hormone), and is thus more pronounced in males than in females (which is why homozygous recessive females never go as bald as bald men, and don t begin to show thinning hair until much later in life). Sex linkage also explains why the sons of bald men do not necessarily go bald themselves. A bald man carries a recessive allele (b) on his X chromosome. However, 6
7 he only provides Y chromosomes to his sons. They get their X chromosome from their mother. If they were to go bald, they would have to get the recessive allele from her. However, bald men can only give the recessive allele when they give an X chromosome. Thus, the DAUGHTERS of bald men carry at least ONE copy of the recessive allele (we don t know what they got from their mother, but their father had to give them the recessive allele if he is bald). This means that the male offspring of one of these daughters have a 50:50 chance of receiving the recessive allele for baldness. This explains why, if your mother s father was bald, and you are a male, you have a 50:50 chance (at least) of going bald yourself. Now in reality, the male-pattern baldness is more complex than has been described here, and is not truly sex-linked. However, some human traits are sex-linked. Some traits that show X-linkage are: hemophilia (the inability to form blood clots), redgreen color blindness, and Duchenne s muscular dystrophy. The Y chromosome carries primarily the genes for maleness, and no other traits have been confirmed to be linked to this chromosome. However, it is suspected that hairy ear rims may be a Y-linked trait (of course, only showing up in males). Sex-Influenced Traits Sometimes, the dominance of a trait is influenced by the sex of the bearer. These are not sex-linked (i.e. they are not on the sex chromosomes). A good example is the length of the ring finger relative to the index finger. The allele for short index finger relative to the ring finger is dominant in males, but recessive in females. Thus, males generally have longer ring than index fingers, while females generally have longer index than ring fingers. Of course both phenotypes do show up in both sexes. Work out the Punnett Squares giving phenotypes and genotypes for both sexes. 7
